For the last few years I have been so blessed to be working with the staff at The Voice of the Martyrs, and seriously, when I consider how I got connected to VOM, part of me laughs and the other part realizes that God's providence is always at work. Which is why I want to share with you a testimony that I received from Todd Nettleton the other day. For privacy reasons and protection, I have changed the names of the people involved. May this encourage you to share what you know of the ministry of The Voice of the Martyrs.
I just had a call from a gentleman whose home is in CA. He wanted to know about the VOM Newsletter and how he could get it. I took the information from him to add him to our database and when I got to the part where I asked how he had heard about us, he said,
“I’m standing in front of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream store right now on Fifth Avenue in New York. I am here to tell people about the Lord. A man in a wheelchair came up and I asked him if he knew about Jesus. To which he replied,
“Let ME tell YOU a little bit about the Lord and about an organization called Voice of the Martyrs.”
After he had told Mr. L. a little about VOM, Mr. L. said, “Well, how can I get signed up to get this information?” He said, “The man in the wheelchair looked at me and said, ‘Like this,’ and dialed his cell phone and handed it to me. I’m talking to you now, "Betty", on his cell phone.”
Now I don't know about you, but I LOVE this story because it reminds me that not only is it very easy to share about Christian persecution, but it's also extremely easy to get more information about how we can all help.
Please send us an email at [email protected] and share with us how YOU share the ministry of VOM. We may post your story here on the blog.
